3 Words I LIVE by

Sometimes the task ahead can feel so overwhelming that I go into total analysis paralysis mode. I spend so much time questioning the right next step.

I become less productive and the task at hand seems to be growing bigger and bigger in front of me.

Running a small business means that I am faced with something that I don’t know how to do ALL THE TIME. I have learned a very valuable lesson. Just start moving.

Now, this doesn’t mean to make big life altering decisions without understanding the full consequences. I’m talking about those little steps that get me one step closer to where I want to be.

“Just start moving”

On days where I wake up overwhelmed, those words get me out of bed, outside for my morning walk, on my yoga mat, in position to meditate and my journal out for some flow writing (my non-negotiable morning routine).

As I move through my routine the stress slowly starts to melt away because I am in movement. I’m not stuck in that analysis paralysis mode, spiraling about what the perfect choice to make is.

I apply the same words “just start moving” to my business, my creative projects, my budgeting, the house work I need to do. Those words help me get into action and I focus on one step at a time. That way I’m not thinking about the many steps ahead to reach my goal. I’m only focused on the one step ahead.

That movement creates momentum and sooner than later I find my rhythm. The words “just start moving” have helped me figure out so many things in my business and life and everything in between.

So whatever phase of life you’re in - getting out of your mental health rut, starting a side hustle, launching a new program in your business, or just putting away the massive pile of clothes that has been sitting on your couch... I invite you to try these words on and see how they feel.

Take a deep breath and “just start moving.”
